    Final Photo Book: Study, Snack, Repeat Hello! Here is my final photo book. I had some technical difficulties so I had to put into google slides. It is best viewed in the present mode. 😄

Dots!

       This project was sparked by the sound of my roommate brushing her teeth with an electric toothbrush. In a way, the sound was relaxing which both surprised me and got me thinking of how I view mechanic sounds and what sounds some people find annoying and what sounds some find soothing. I will not go as far to say that my soundscape is soothing, because it definitely is not to me personally. But it is surprisingly not extremely abrasive, and considering the sounds I used that is a bit surprising. With this project, I hope to explore the feeling of being surrounded by metals and machines. I tried to create the sense of almost being swaddled in a space surrounded by a typewriter or machinery in use.       My process mainly consisted of me walking around my room and trying out different sounds that I generally do not think of as appealing to the ear. Once I had a sufficient amount of audio, I threw them onto Garage Band and just sort of played around with the sound. I was really inte

  Throughout the day, my roommates and I shift around the room (and occasionally go outside). One person may be studying while another is eating and someone else is updating the rest on breaking news that is already old. Cast off study materials blur with bits of food as whatever social flow that is currently in control pushes us from a bedroom to the floor in front of the living room window to the coffee table often dusted with crumbs and pencils. In this project, I want to explore the pieces of things and food that get pushed to the side of whatever the central focus of the moment is. I want to explore objects that suggest a physical and social movement off-camera that includes some sort of melding between study, eating, and social activity. I also aim to capture the shifting of light and mood from both natural, screen, and decorative lighting as the night goes on. Flickr Slideshow

Hello! My name is Rachael and I am an English and Film double major who is pretty much undecided on all future plans. Though I do not know what I want to do or where I want to go, I do know some things. I am currently interested in the way images and film can be in conversation with poems as a whole, or with slices of sentences--or even with single words and bits of punctuation. I love the way sensory notes of text can be tugged out of paper and brought into a new electronic light. I mages crafted in a poem can be explored, or even muddled or molded by film construction. One of my favorite examples of digital media exploring a poem is Lynn Tomlinson's clay animation of Emily Dickinson's poem I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died: LYNN  TO MLINSON  1989 Rachael Teeter - Rotoscope animation for Artisnal Animation course My grandma was a water color artist and has been one of my greatest influences in my life. In a way, she showed me that becoming a creator was possible and that there ar
